Great camo scheme, fab shots, thanks for posting - had wondered if another photo that I had seen of this was a clever fake, so good to see these posted!

Are the markings Nicholson's VC Hurricane ?

Finally somebody has posted some images of this fantastic scheme! It really is the best scheme I've seen on a Typhoon - thanks for posting!

Also, does this mean that at airshows this year we shall have 2 separate Typhoons displaying? The Typhoon display team scheme, and the Typhoon with the camouflage scheme?

What a beauty!

To commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain and painted in retro 1940's camouflage, this RAF Typhoon in the markings of the Hawker Hurricane flown by Flight Lieutenant Nicolson VC DFC, during the Battle of Britain.
